DESCRIPTION:Muddy sediments provide an invaluable environmental archive wi
 thin which to examine past changes in climate\, ocean state etc. Recently 
 deposited muddy sediments also provide an opportunity to examine recent en
 vironmental changes\, through the Holocene and in to the putative Anthropo
 cene. This presentation will examine the use of the recent sedimentary rec
 ord in estuaries and along shorelines (and its integration with other tool
 s such as geomorphology and forensic archaeology) to assess earthquake and
  tsunami risk along tectonically-active coasts\, using Greece\, Mexico and
  Chile as examples. The presentation will also examine the use of recent s
 edimentary archives in assessing historical response to geological hazards
 \, and more widely anthropogenic changes and impacts\, including current w
 ork fingerprinting the base of the Anthropocene using geochemical indicato
 rs such as residues from nuclear fallout.
